'Bout time for another moan I think......

My boiler is nearly dead. It provides enough for a quick shower, then gives up the ghost. To expect it to provide central heating as well is not going to happen.

So I've insulated the house and am wearing a few layers. Do you have a hat? It does make a tremendous difference. I'm designed for tropical weather and feel the cold a lot. I currently have a half height electric oil heater under my chair, on a barely warm setting, and a blanket wrapped around my knees and over half the chair, trapping the tiny amount of heat the heater is producing. It's surprisingly effective.

Lol...did anyone see the knitted cosy things that were on top of the smoothies that Boots were selling in their meals deals a few weeks back? They're just egg cosies really...maybe I could just attach some elastic to go round the back of my head and I could wear it like a beak. :rotfl:

I'm sure it would amuse the kids. See...silver lining and all that.

When my nose gets cold, even when i'm in the house, I put on a scarf over my nose and my breath warms it up.

Please get an egg cosy and some elastic and post a picture. :rotfl:

Sadly, to look at me, you'd think I was designed for the depths of winter. ;):D

Only problem with your solution to keeping warm is that it's very much a solitary answer. I could keep warm that way too but I think OH and the kids might register a complaint if I went down that route.

Just the thing!

Alternatively you could use an ultra thin ST or panty liner (depending on how big your nose is:eek:) an fix it the length of your nose:D

I suspect my OH would think that was an improvement. :rotfl:
